What a cute car!
This is my first new car purchase and I couldn't be more pleased. I've had the car less than a month and have already put close to 1800 miles on it. Drives great and catches the eye of many. I was first interested in the Pontiac Vibe, until I found the Areio SX - an awesome value for the $$.
so fun to drive
i just recently purchased a 2003 suzuki aerio sx five speed fwd. i have to say that this is by far one of the most fun cars to drive on the market today. my wife likes the room and i like the power.
Best price/quality ratio in its class
roomy enough, peppy enough, surprisingly good cornering and breaking, not really noisy for 4 cyl. car
great deal and unique car...best in show
bought my yellow aerio sx, ABS and auto but no AWD. Dealer was very helpful and not sleazy. got the car for 13550 inc. destination fee. roomy, unique, fast, quiet,fast,versatile,fast,fun to drive, fast. originaly intended to replace my 88 tercel, my wife now borrows it everytime she can. no neighbors with torches threatening to burn my "ugly" car like car &driver warned me. bahhumbug!!! everyone that looks at the car loves it!!
Very under-estimated car
In my opinion although this car came sixth out of six in it's category, it came number one in both engine and transmission. This is 90% of what you want in a car. Very cormfortable seats and guess what - all my friends (some have a Matrix and a Protege 5) think that this is the most fun car to own. Love the sound of the peppy engine, very fuctional interior unlike the competitors who have useless storage for things like cellphones Safety hazard) and junk food (no place for wrappers. Gets quieter at higher speeds
bought mine new in 03 Best car ever!
Mine is ready to hit 180,000, other than maintenance.in 20 years, it has been wrecked 4 times, twice badly, but fixed and back on the road! in 20 years, and over the years It's had a water pump, ignition switch,valve cover gasket, ball joints, 2 sets of brakes, 6 sets of tires, and last year a starter and radiator and this year new coils, and an alternator and a motor mount, It still purrs like a kitty, has lots of power, and I keep the oil changed, I went to a full synthetic Motor oil last year., and I also keep the transmission fluid changed too. It helps I found out if you put the correct Fluid in it. It will shift better.

Great Start Suzuki!
The small footprint makes it easier to park and to get around. Even though it's small on the outside, there's ample leg and head room and plenty of space for hauling people and stuff inside. The engine is quite peppy. I have no problems merging on the highway or passing others. Some might find the digital dash a little distracting but it's easy to get used to. All in all, I find my SX to be a GREAT car for the price. If you're in the market for a great vehicle with lot of standard options, awesome safety ratings and is inexpensive to boot, the Aerio SX is a fantastic buy. It's a nice for a new family too. Hopefully I'll be driving my Suzuki for years to come.
my experiance driving the car
fun to drive and and satisfied with the pep and handlang.
Very good car
I have put 36,000 miles on this car. So far it has been very reliable, but I have had some minor problems. The catalytic converter had to be replaced, and it's rattling again. Also, the overhead light shutoff failed twice. I had better replacement brake pads installed by dealer better than the originals. However, I enjoy every minute that I drive this car, Its handling is very good (did the Edmund's reviewer even drive it?), It is a better value and has a smoother ride than the Subaru Impreza. The all wheel drive is great. I would definitely buy another.
